Tale of a Messiah

He made them believe
He was the real messiah
The mystic leader
who would take them to Zion
His followers threw themselves
into icy pools of water
Rended their clothes
in a frenzy of belief
When he came out of the Sultan's home
wearing a fez
Only a few belivers stayed on
his wavelength
How long must we wait for
the true messiah to reveal himself?

Many false prophets will make themselves known before the real ones show up. Cults and such always held a small amount of fascination for me... just what drives people to follow such ridiculous notions? Cool story!

Great write, Matthew! I do believe, those who want to will be led to Zion by Jesus Christ, the only Messiah. God himself, through His Holy Spirit, will tell everyone of us who listen to Him, who the Messiah is, when He comes to reign over us and prepare us for the Kingdom of His Father. Amen.
